QNAP TS-262 - Little hero of a small office
This model shows that even a small 2-disk desktop NAS can pleasantly surprise with storage capabilities: up to 4 NVME SSDs and up to 16 hard drives when using cards and expansion shelves.

Discovering the features of QNAP QGD-3014 - a hybrid of a PoE switch and a NAS
A very unusual NAS, which the manufacturer himself considers to be Smart Edge switches. It has a built-in PoE switch for 16 ports, as well as 2.5-Gigabit Upstream interfaces and a software architecture with isolated network spaces for video surveillance.

Exclusive interview with Synology GmbH CEO Jeffrey Huang
Will Vendor Lock be implemented, how did the company survive the mining fever, how does it look at Web3 and decentralization, ZFS and RAID 2.0+, will DSM be sold separately? We are talking about this and other topics with the CEO of Synology.

QNAP TS-h1886XU-RP Review: meet the ZFS-based QuTS hero operating system
Now customers have the opportunity to use ZFS in entry-level storage: now you can combine deduplication and SAN connection via FC, configure caching of Cloud storage on a local disk, and synchronize backups between cloud services. Plus, you can mine cryptocurrency directly on the NAS.
